— Ahead of his upcoming album, blacksummers’NIGHT, trailblazing R&B artist Maxwell kicked off his The Night Tour this month. And while the “Pretty Wings” smooth operator has been delivering lovemaking ballads for nearly three decades, he says he enjoys creating passionate music.
When asked in a recent interview with the New York Post “how many babies” he thinks his music helped make, he said, “At the end of the day, I am a musician. I love making music. That’s my joy. I’m here to make people have fun, have a good time and go home and have more babies.”
The 48-year-old Caribbean native was recently nicknamed “Maxwell the Stallion” after a video circulated of him dancing on his knees at one of his shows recently. In response to the new label, Maxwell said, “I’m Haitian… that’s how we dance.”
